Microsoft in the news

Microsoft Web Servers Hacked

"Hundreds of thousands of Web sites - including several at the United Nations and in the U.K. government -- have been hacked recently and seeded with code that tries to exploit security flaws in Microsoft Windows to install malicious software on visitors' machines."


From XP to Vista : A Change issue for Microsoft?

"Microsoft keeps insisting that Windows Vista is a winner, but the questions keep mounting — and Thursday’s quarterly report only added to the doubts."

"Revenue from the company’s so-called client division — PC operating systems mainly — came in at a bit under $4.03 billion. That was about $300 million less than most analysts had expected."


Microsoft Outlook tweak for a clutter-free Inbox

"Microsoft Outlook is the company-issued email client at your place of employment, so like it or not, it's up to you to figure out how to manage your inbox, calendar, and task list every day using it. To make things worse, if you're in IT lockdown without administrator rights to your PC, you can't install special add-ons or software to help your cause. Luckily there are install-free ways to customize Outlook, add keyboard shortcuts, and get your inbox down to zero messages painlessly with a few tweaks to your setup."


Syncing Your Microsoft Outlook and Google calendars

"Previously, your Google Apps email address needed to be the organizer or an attendee of your Microsoft Outlook events for the Outlook events to sync to your Google Calendar. Now, when you choose to do a 2-way sync or a 1-way sync from Outlook calendar to Google Calendar, all of your Outlook events will be synced to your Google Calendar."

Firefox Title Bar Anomaly?

I've always been using Portable Firefox for web browsing. It's fast and secure. It is also bundled with other cool portable apps.

A year ago, I decided to make my Firefox look like Internet Explorer courtesy of JohnHaller.com.

Everything's working the way it should be until two days ago. I noticed that the browser title bar got changed. It was supposed to look like this:









But what I'm seeing is:








Even its About page was altered















Other catchy terms include:
Mozilla Lightningadder
Mozilla Junglebeaver
Mozilla Turboape
Mozilla Junglebaboon
Mozilla Watermule
Mozilla Firepenguin
Mozilla Turbofinch
Mozilla Spacesquid
Mozilla Lightningcrane
and so on..

I find them funny and witty. But is this some kind of joke created by Mozilla itself? A hack? Security flaw? I tried googling for answers but couldn't find any. My only guess is that it got changed when I updated Firefox.

If you are experiencing this or if you know anything about this change, feel free to add your comments.

Btw, I'm using Firefox version 2.0.0.13
